Possibly apart from
the large hotels I have come to learn that in Botswana free wi-fi is an
oxymoron. Free wi-fi means no wi-fi!
Several times I have
been in Gaborone and decided to stop at a restaurant for lunch or a coffee shop
for coffee and a snack and while there tried to use their advertised free wi-fi
to check email during the mid-day.
Each time I have
tried it has been an exercise in total frustration!
Speeds must down at
the rate of the good old dial-up service which ultimately means your connection
gets dropped. Alternatively, 2 or 3
times at each session the connection gets broken and you must log in
again. Thus, I have concluded until I
can get a recommendation from a friend or relative about a good location for
internet access in Gaborone, I’m not going to even try anymore.
